Whenever "The Real World" sets up shop in an exotic locale, the results are usually the same: bikinis, rum, hot tubs, sex. In that order. Come to think of it, that's not much different than any year of the reality show granddaddy. For the show's 27th season (yes, you're old) Wednesday night (6/27) at 10, seven more strangers head to St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin (heh) Islands for a drama-filled Caribbean adventure. Allow us to introduce the roomies -- and soon-to-be friends or enemies. -Jordan Bartel

Hometown: Bensalem, Pa. Background: Is 6-foot-6 and "extremely competitive" (we're assuming in basketball). Is studying criminal justice with hopes of becoming a cop or FBI agent, so we're sure he'll be on his best behavior this season. Potential for drama: He's the guy who appears to be punching himself in the face in season promos. He reportedly had a troublesome upbringing (see also: Trey), so expect some stories. He's also described as a "man-whore," which seems to be a theme (see also: Trey). What we like about him: Moved home to be closer to his mother and sister; shocks his mom with "explicit details about his sex life." What we dislike about him: Has a Hakuna Matata tattoo.
